Why not? I would buy one if it wasn't too expensive :-0
Is it still in development stages or something?
Or did the whole project just get borked?

Speaking of (off subject), as soon as I can get to them (in the attic), I
have some AMI i840 dual cpu prototype boards that have super buggy bios'
and AMI just gave up on them.  I was thinking of calling out a "coreboot
challenge" and donating three of them (keep the fourth one) to anyone that
could get coreboot running on them. This would sooo put it to the man :-)
The trick to them is this: the i840 was designed for RAMBUS, these boards
were designed with SDRAM, but with coreboots flexability this shouldn't be
hard. What do you think?
